On to more important things, okay remember when my Mom came and I had her sewing??? Well here is the result of that day
It's pretty isn't it? The story behind this quilt is that 20 years ago my Mom made my sister a king size quilt like this, with my help and my Grandma's, for my sister for Christmas. It wasn't professionally quilted, I think we tied it and stitched in the ditch. My sister loved it and kept it on her bed. Well the next Christmas her place was robbed and they took the quilt, among other things. Well fast forward 20 years and I'm helping my Mom clean out her attic and I come across a box of scraps from the one and only quilt she's ever done. There's even a few finished basket blocks in there so I suggest that we put it together for Pam and have it quilted as a remembrance of the only quilt that my Mom has made. I hope that Pam likes it as I haven't heard yet.
I have another finished quilt that I put the binding on Thanksgiving day and I'll show pictures of that quilt tomorrow.
Have a great day today!
